How to tell version from schema?

Hi,

I've been tasked with upgrading some old CMS Made Simple installations. Can't tell what version they are as they use a custom admin theme without a version number but the database version numbers are 19 and 29.

As they are old versions I assume I need to upgrade version by version but can anyone advise which versions these are so I know where to start or is there another way to establish the version number?

Thanks in anticipation,
Benz1

Look at the System Information under the Site Admin tab. Otherwise look in the version.php file in your root dir.

Thanks Jeff, I didn't realize they were so old. Schema 19 is version 0.13!

Do I need to upgrade to each of the 29 versions since then in turn or are there some key upgrades that I can jump to? Think it might be easier to start from scratch and recreate the sites in v1.5.4!
Thanks,
Benz1

Depends on how well you know php/html and if you can debug your own errors?

You are right if the site aren't too big/fancy it would be easier to start from scratch.
